Notes

[1] In terms of critical analysis of social institutions in the modern and postmodern eras, Illich is certainly Noam Chomsky’s equal and, because of the way Illich slices issues diagonally, for me he has offered more visions of what might be than Chomsky, but I quibble.

[2] The reporters, John M. Broder and Andew C. Revkin, relied on a new report issued by the U.S. Geological Survey called Future Retreat of Arctic Sea Ice Will Lower Polar Bear Populations and Limit Their Distribution (see http://www.usgs.gov/newsroom/article.asp?id=1773).

[3] Shadow Work was based on an essay that Illich had published in CoEvolution Quarterly called ‘Vernacular Values’ (Citation1980) and later fostered ‘Silence is a Commons’ (Citation1983).

[4] There is a subgroup within cultural anthropology that has dedicated itself to the use and value of consciousness‐altering drugs for personal and communal well‐being, called transpersonal anthropology. Among its founders are I. Al‐Issa (Citation1977), E. Turner et al. (Citation1986), and C. D. Laughlin, McManus, and Shearer (Citation1983).

[5] See the work of, for example, Bollier (Citation2002), Hardin (Citation1968), Lessing (Citation2001), and Ostram (Citation1990).

[6] See the presentation made by Sturgeon (Citation2003) to the RCSD Politics of the Commons Conference; for a comprehensive report on the current state of global commons, see The State of the Commons (Citation2003/2004).

[8] For a description of the work the Commission is involved in, see http://www.coastal.ca.gov/whoweare.html (retrieved September 11, 2007). In a landmark case, a developer took the Commission to court arguing that the Commission ‘took’ its land: Nollan v. California Coastal Commission, 483 U. S. 825 (1987), http://www.oyez.org/cases/1980‐1989/1986/1986_86_133/ (retrieved September 11, 2007). The Supreme Court held that the Commission met the requirements of law when requiring the builders in question to maintain a ‘continuous strip of publicly accessible beach along the coast.’ Dissenting Justice Scalia argued that, if California wished to use its power of eminent domain to do so, it must provide just compensation to the Nollans and other beachfront property owners for the public use of their land.
